Lehman's Laundry Soap Nuts

Currently Unavailable

They sounded too good to be true, so we put these little "nuts" to the ultimate test: a local dairy farmer's grimy work clothes. Incredibly, soap nuts got them cleaner than anything else his wife tried. The dried fruit from the Asian Soapberry tree, soap nuts produce saponin, a biodegradable, hypoallergenic and extremely effective detergent that leaves clothes clean, fresh and soft. Nothing else is needed - not even fabric softener.

12-oz bag does up to 120 loads

Less than 17¢ a load!

Also great for dishwashing and general cleaning (make liquid soap with the included recipe)

Virtually fragrance-free

Comes with 2 reusable fabric bags - just put soap nuts in the bag and toss the whole thing in the wash

For front load machines make a liquid soap from the nuts

Packaged in the USA

Note: Use 3 nuts per load, up to 3 times. Soap nuts work best in warm water, since warmth releases the saponin.

LEHMAN'S LAUNDRY SOAP NUTS DESCRIPTION

"Love these! My son has severe contact allergies and this soap is the only one so far that doesn't affect his skin! We've tried all the regular name brand and even generic soaps that are supposed to be perfect for sensitive skin but he breaks out in hives. These soap nuts??? What on earth??? Fantastic!" --A Satisfied Lehman's Customer

"The Laundry Soap Nuts not only clean my clothing but also leave garments soft. I highly recommend this product for anyone with soap allergies or severely dry skin. It really works!" --JoAnne

"Removed odor but not even basic dirt. Bit disappointing, but was worth a try. Maybe the liquid soap recipe that came with it will work better?"

"I was disapointed with the soap nuts. My clothes came out dull and still smelling dirty. I really like the idea of natural soap, but they just didn't work for me. I still love the Lehman's catalog, though,(it is our family's "wishbook") and they're customer service is great!"

"I really like Lehman's so I hate to leave anything but a 5 star rating, but I wasn't very pleased with the soap nuts. I used them as recommended (4 nuts per load, only using those nuts for 3 loads) and my clothes came out looking okay, but smelling dirty. They still smelled like sweat, etc. and seemed only rinsed. This was also with 1/2 cup baking soda added to each load as well. I ended up rewashing everything using a detergent. "

"Love the idea but not sold on having to find the bag in the wash. I also don't like having to find the bag before rinse cycle. Probably won't get again. But they do work."

"I like the soapnuts, however in our area were we have extremely hard water I'm only getting two or three loads using four nuts. Have thought about makeing the liquid detergent with them, but traditionally liquid detergents don't work well in hard water. Also, have found that using a little washing or baking soda helps."

"I love the idea of these nuts, but they are a bit more difficult to use with a front-loading washer due to the fact that they must be boiled to make a liquid form. If I had known this, I would not have bought extra bags but otherwise they are great."

"The soap nuts work very well! Very convenient, no mess. My wife puts them in the washer before the clothes while it's filling and adds soda for whitening. Seems to work better than putting the clothes in first. It also dissolve the soda better."

"Folks, I used this with the second wash of my son's cloth diapers...once dried they smelled like...NOTHING! That's what you want stinky diapers to smell like when they come out of the dryer! In fact, it even got rid of the fishy smell that the diaper cream leaves on the liners and soaks through. I plan to use this on his regular clothes washes too since he has sensitive skin."
